It maybe a simple matter, but I'm spending lots of time getting nowhere to solve a problem...

While using my Thunderbird emails, after I had sent an email, I found I can only get the "sent" screen and its messages.

I cannot get the incoming and save panel which usually opens as soon as I hit the Thunderbird logo.

I suppose I hit a button somewhere inadvertently, But am going round in circles getting nowhere.

Hoping someone can help - it's probably a simple matter but I'm completely lost and frustrated.

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

re :While using my Thunderbird emails, after I had sent an email, I found I can only get the "sent" screen and its messages.

When you say 'Sent screen' - do you mean: You cannot see the 'Folder Pane'. You can only see the 'Thread Pane' showing list of sent emails.

I'm wondering if you have closed the 'Folder Pane'. Menu icon > 'Customise' > 'Layout' > select 'Folder Pane'.

Check you have this setting:

Menu app icon > 'View' > 'Folders' > select 'All'

Thanks for your suggestions - I found finally that this worked:

"Move your mouse to the left edge of the window Watch for it to change to a double headed arrow When it changes, click, hold and drag right to uncover the folder pane

The Thunderbird window needs to be maximized for this to work"

It was very easy - I just need to know how to do it! What a relief!!
